Slip us the cash and we’ll slip you the podcast

Elisabeth Shue thought she was in for a night of Häagen-Dazs and bedtime stories, but winds up stranding three children in downtown Chicago in the 1987 comedy Adventures In Babysitting. Can the teenager get her charges safely back to suburbia before the parents learn they’ve been crashing frat parties, stealing porn mags from mafioso, and dangling from skyscrapers after curfew?  And is Chris Columbus’ directorial debut also part of the Thor retrospective?  Find out when you become a Now Playing Patron this July, or you’ll be left singing the Babysitter’s Blues.
